Huang Chongjia in Xu Wei's No.1 Scholar in Ming Dynasty and Meng Lijun in Chen Ruisheng's works in Qing Dynasty can only be described in two words: nonsense. It's all fiction. )
There have been many female generals, poets and politicians in the history of China, but there is only one female champion. It's not that ancient women didn't want to take part in the imperial examination, but because the laws of past dynasties stipulated the gender of the imperial examination-it's illegal for men and women to take the scholar's examination. If they want to go to court, they will be beheaded if they don't do well.
After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Nanjing its capital, it selected talents and began to recruit scholars, making an exception and allowing women to take exams and participate in state affairs. As soon as the news came out, Tianjing City was shocked, and talented people and beautiful women enthusiastically went to the exam. Although the war was short-lived, it was rare at that time because of its huge momentum and grand etiquette.
On the opening day, guns rang out outside the examination hall of Confucius Temple (now Jiangnan Gongyuan), and the door of the examination hall with dragons and phoenixes slowly opened. At that time, the examiner was Yang, and the deputy examiner was. More than 200 women took the exam. The test question is "Only women are difficult to raise". Fu Shanxiang, a Nanjing woman with a scholarly family, is influenced by calligraphy and knows classics, poems and songs like the back of her hand. She is smart, dignified and generous. She founded the theory of "difficult to support" and listed the contributions of many virtuous women to help their husbands since ancient times, which was appreciated by the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan. Three days later, gongs and drums roared, salutes rang, and the red gold list hung high in front of the heavenly palace. Fu Shanxiang won the first prize of gynecology with an excellent scholarship. In addition to giving her a yellow satin horse and a red crepe horse, Hong Xiuquan also gave her a set of corolla brocade clothes, and Hong personally put flowers on her. Fu Shanxiang marched across the street in red, beating gongs and drums all the way, and marched for three days, and the people in the city lined the streets to welcome him.
Three days later, Fu Shanxiang was sent to the east, and Yang served as a female writer, equivalent to the director's secretary. Fu Shanxiang, who was in his twenties, was gentle and witty, and soon gained the appreciation and trust of the East King. He was named the history of the East Palace, wrote official documents, participated in confidential affairs and became one of the right-hand men of the East Palace.
Since jintian uprising, the Taiping Army has organized the families of the army separately to undertake logistics work, which is called "women's camp" in view of the needs of military operations. After its capital was Tianjing, it was renamed as "Women's Pavilion", and it was forbidden for men to explore, and the husband and wife lived together, which also violated the law. But over time, it caused dissatisfaction. Fu Shanxiang wanted to reform very much, so he tactfully said to the East King: "When Tianwang was in Yong 'an, he promised to capture Jinling and go to heaven, and many couples were reunited. Today, he is still not allowed to have a family, which is not enough to convince the public. " After consulting with Tianwang, Dongwang ordered Xu and his wife to reunite for one day in January. Soon, the Qing army attacked the city on a large scale, food was in short supply, and the state treasury could not make ends meet. It is really a great burden to spend tens of thousands of silver to support 134 thousand women every year. Fu Shanxiang boldly proposed to the East, canceled the women's museum, and many couples went home to reunite, so that young unmarried women also got married. In this way, military spending has decreased and complaints have subsided. The East King and the King adopted Fu Shanxiang's advice and asked her to take charge of the matter. Fu Shanxiang went deep into the women's camp and wrote down the temperament, age and appearance of the sisters on paper and arranged them one by one. Young men and women holding dragons and phoenixes happily joined hands to thank Fu Shan Xiang and left. "The Women's Museum is empty."
Two years later, Zhang, a spy sent by the Qing army, organized a rebel group in the Taiping Army, but it was quickly discovered by Dong Wang Yang. In the trial briefing, Zhang bit more than 800 veterans of Taiping Army, and even Vice President Hu was implicated. In a rage, Yang beheaded all these people. Chen Chengyuan, Hou Xingguo and Hou Weiguo, who recommended Hu as the presiding judge, were dismissed and transferred for review. Fu Shanxiang suspected that at the age of nine, he was caught by spies and turned against him, so he ventured into the temple to remonstrate: "God's will has been set, and every crime must have evidence. Now, relying solely on Clear The Demon's confession will not lead to unjust cases? I hope to think twice when I am nine years old, lest the soldiers be centrifugal. " Soon, the East King released Chen and Huang Hou and restored their titles. Later, Fu Shanxiang's repeated exhortations were not adopted, so he drifted away and had nowhere to go.
It is worth mentioning here that apart from Confucius' theory that it is difficult to support, there is also a question about writing poems, which stipulates that "alas, the mountains and rivers are green." Fu Shanxiang's answer is equally subtle, describing the scene of boating on mountains and rivers vividly: I can't hear the sound,
Mountains and rivers send lonely sails.
The opposite scenery is picturesque,
Turn around and be covered with stones.
Clouds are hovering in the air,
There is water in this area.
The stern is clear and smooth,
Peak waist Zhao Xu title.
Green doubts stay on the ancient shore,
Cui wants to sign his shirt.
The sound of the stream frightened the goose.
